Apparently, Delphine Jelk asked herself how Jacques Guerlain would build L’Heure Bleue if he was making it today, and the answer, clearly, is that he would pop his inspo into AI and say that he wanted a feminine blue perfume in the style of Quentin Bisch. That’s what we have here. Soapy, powdery, and intense, simplistic neroli with a solid 8-10 hours of wear. It opens with calone, giving it an ozonic blue accord, making you think of the dark ocean instead of the dark blue of the sky. Then there’s an intense neroli and a powdery laundry iris accord. If you’re smelled CdG Marseille, then you know the style of perfume you’re getting here. This could be an Aqua Allegoria Absolu called “Neroli Iris” and it would have done just as well. L’Heure Bleue it is not. They said that they’re keeping the 1912 L’Heure Bleue around for now, but I just don’t believe it.
